If you can't find toasted almonds, spread a single layer of raw almonds on a baking tray and roast for 20 to 25 minutes or until almonds are nicely toasted. Allow toasted almonds to cool in the baking tray on your stove-top or counter for 30 minutes - you'll hear them cackle a bit as their toasted skins cool off.

To make dressing, combine all dressing ingredients in a small jar, shake vigorously, then set aside at room temperature.

To make the salad, combine lettuce, cabbage, and carrots in a large bowl. Keep 2 to 3 tablespoons of dressing aside, and spread the rest over the lettuce, cabbage, and carrots. Give everything a good toss and dish out to serving bowls.

Add remaining dressing to chopped apples, toss, then divide into serving bowls. Top each bowl off with toasted almonds, cranberries, and mint.

Enjoy this lovely, nutrient-dense salad as a side or as a full meal.
